Rep Lamar Smith (R-TX) appeared on Fox News on Tuesday night to discuss a preview of what he plans to do as Chair of the Judiciary Committee regarding immigration.

He proceeded directly to the topic of liberating jobs from illegal aliens to open them up for citizens: ”We have 7 million people in the country who are working illegally, so if we enforce our immigration laws we are going to create jobs for American workers that need those jobs, they don’t need competition from foreign workers.”

Smith also noted that workplace enforcement is down 70 percent under Obama and he hopes to improve that.
